Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I only wear gloves when I don't want to accept the risk of chewing up my hands in case I wreck. Put another way, I always wear gloves when I ride.

Day 5 of of staycation. Up at 5:30. I walked Roscoe, made coffee did some work then drank said coffee. After going to my appointment I will saunter over to Costco for glasses. The rest of the day is open save for ironing those 2 shirts for next week.

It might wind up being a bottle of Ripple, if anything.

If I fall, I only shove my hands out when I want to risk chewing up my hands and breaking my collarbone. Put another way, I don't shove my hands out.

Near the top of the incline I let up a little on the pressure. The derailleur took that opportunity to throw the chain off to the inside. When that happened all my weight went forward over the bars, which which then flipped full right, and down I went. Left knee onto the spokes of the front wheel, stretching 2 of them so bad I had to loosen the cable on the brake . Broke my shifter, and crankset too.

LSS is on the hunt for a new coffeemaker, not happy with her current “piece of crap”, her words not mine. We use separate coffee makers, she is fussy about her coffee, and not a French press fan. Likes to start with whole beans. What recommendations do we have on the high end or semi-high end?

At that point, and after a gram of APAP, I was fool enough to do a 20 mi workout on the way to work and it was precipitously downhill from there. ¡Bueno suerte, hermano!

None, but I note the use of "LSS" with approval and mention in passing that I just broke our less fancy French press, which I was using instead of the drip machine because my LSS is out of town.

I just got back from the office, and walked in to the painters retaping and covering everything. The guy looked at me and said, "You know that bottle of whiskey?" I responded, "Yeah, I'm not getting it am I?"

Would rather have a happy wife.

I don't really do drip, but the Moccamaster Technivorm is supposed to be one of the better machines out there. And then there's St James Hoffman's personal choice -

I am stuck at work and in any case not feeling up to anything too physical. I hope to be better enough to ride tomorrow.

It was a few years ago. They ran out of ambulances, from what I understand. After my wreck, it started to rain, and it didn't cross my mind to ask how the rest of the day went.

"Work," for me consisted of being a warm, clinically credentialed, body on site to supervise something in the lab, doing some writing, and attending a couple of meetings remotely, I assume you're actually working!
